Costs and Competition

The Competition Rabbit Hole

According to Fannie Mae’s 3Q 2017 Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey®,“The share of lenders citing competition from other lenders as the key reason for a negative profit market outlook rose to a new survey high… market competitiveness also led to the fourth consecutive quarter in which lenders’ net profit margin outlook deteriorated.”

Many regional banks enjoy a reputational and market presence advantage on which they can capitalize. These are clear advantages over other lenders. Capitalizing on these advantages in an increasingly competitive technology-driven marketplace is becoming more challenging, and it comes at a cost. Chasing the competition can lead you down a rabbit hole. Technology can be an expensive proposition especially in a market with constrained demand.
